The Spin

Progressive narrative

This program represents a crucial step toward modernizing New York's transportation infrastructure, reducing gridlock, and improving air quality. It will also provide essential funding for public transit improvements that will benefit the vast majority of commuters who rely on mass transit.

Conservative narrative

The toll unfairly burdens working-class commuters, first responders, and small businesses with additional costs, while potentially devastating areas like Chinatown and the Lower East Side by driving up delivery costs and deterring customers from visiting Manhattan.
